Mystery Monday: I know who...wish I knew where!

Helen Josephine Samsel

This is a great picture of my Granny Smyczynski, taken well before she was my granny and even before she was a Smyczynski. Her name is written on the back, looks like her writing to me. "Helen Samsel". This dates it before 1932, which is when she married my grandfather. I with I knew where it was taken, such a cool spot! I would assume it was taken in Philadelphia, somewhere...but of that I can't be sure.

About Me

I am a family history junkie! I am finally working on organizing all of the data and pictures that I have gathered over the years. I started on this when I was in high school. I would sit with my mom and look at old pictures and she would tell me who everyone was. I started building a tree shortly after that. I would say that was about 1993ish. I became more serious in 2009 after my mother passed away. It made me realize how important it is to get the details from our family members before it's too late. I also think it's been quite therapeutic!
